Friday 20th November:

Web Content - In this class we put together the animation that took us 45 minutes in total. Most of the class took part in this, the others just sat there and done nothing. We then split into our groups and allocated tasks so we knew what each person would be doing in project two. We also made up a timetable that the team will be sticking to, to make the animation in time.

Design and Make - We got our results back of the assessment, and we all passed. We then done a task on writing up a design brief. Well tried to write it, never got very far.
